Smorgasbord of native blooms, beautiful birds, bees, butterflies, prairie grasses, caterpillars, other insects and more. An ecological sustainable benefit vs. prior mowed turf grass. (Columbus Rec & Parks mandated that FACT's plant species mix be no more than four feet high.) July 5, 2024.

Yes, our free casual bike ride outing is still on for Saturday morning. We'll have many rest stops, as we point out various FACToids (historical and ecological) along the mostly shady Alum Creek Greenway Trail.

Ongoing good news from our partner with free opportunities for our community. FACT volunteers teach many of these workshops. Please support us as a donating member. friendsofalumcreek.org/personal-membership/Happy summer! Over 2,300 people have already participated in Community Backyards this year. THANK YOU! Rebates are starting to fly in, so we will be working as fast as possible with our small team to process and issue reimbursement checks. We appreciate your patience.
For convenience, we work with 5 local vendors (plus ourselves) where you can get an IMMEDIATE DISCOUNT REBATE instead of purchasing your item and waiting for a reimbursement check. This means you don't "front" the cost, and it also saves you the step of submitting it to us. These vendors may change from year to year, so check your current voucher for the most up to date information. Here are the 6 places where you can use your voucher for an immediate discount in 2024:
City Folk's Farm Shop (the only vendor that offers all 3 options!)
Fisher's Gardens
Leaves for Wildlife
Scioto Gardens* (moving in July!)
Sunny Glen Garden
Franklin Soil & Water/SWACO Compost Bin Sale
Remember, one voucher and one rebate per household per year! But you CAN participate every year. Vendors will NOT accept expired vouchers. Learn more and participate at: www.communitybackyards.org/
*Scioto Gardens: Final day of operations at current site (3351 St Rt 37 W, Delaware, OH 43015) will be Sunday, July 14, 2024. Closed from Monday, July 15 through Friday, July 26. Grand reopening on Saturday July 27. New address will be 2870 Curve Rd, Delaware, OH 43015. Follow Scioto Gardens for updates.
